The Hare in the Moon.

The Gentleman's Magazine: There
is a common superstition against point
ing the finger at the new moon, and in
Swabia children are not allowed to
make the shadow figure of a hare on
the walls with their fingers, an imita-
ton of the hare sometimes supposed to
be visible in the moon. This latter
custom is curious, because in China,
India and Ceylon there is also thought
to be a hare ia the moon, and in con
nection with definite traditions. In
Indian mythology the god Of the moon
carries "A hare; in Ceylon the story is
that the hare, meeting Buddha in 4
wood, babe him light II fire, and then
proceeded to jump into it, for her to
be cooked for his benefit; whereupon
Buddha snatched the good animal from
the flames and translated him to the
moon. And the Chinese hold
that the hare's figure was placed
in the moon to commemorate
the action of the Ruler Of heaven.
who once changed himself into a hare
to assuage the pangs OF a hungry trav
elcr. Some such story must underlie
the Swabian custom, which, like other
customs in connection with the moon,
is sometimes thought to be a survival of
the old system of o worship. But
how came it that the sun and moon
were yer worshipped at alp Is it not,
with greater probability, because
| human attributes were nee ascIibed to
them with fear and dread, than because
they were regarded as the symbols OF
light, or fire, or heat. From the belief
in their humanity to belief in their di-
vinity, the transition would be natural
and obvious, and, in fact, on no other
theory can we understand all the pro
pitlatory sacrifices connected with their
| worship. Would the Mexicans have
offered their horrible human sacrifices
merely to the symbols Of light and
heatp

The Highest Success.

Youths Companions: The man ia
English speaking countries who best
deserves the name of the children's
friend Is, perhaps, a poor man in Lon
don, named Geo. Smith.
He was the son Of Il bricklayer, and
at four years OF age was put 10 work
in the yard. With other babies he
worked for fourteen hours a day,
carrying great Jumps of clay, which
bent his back and stunted his growth.
BY working late into the night they
could arm an additional s~ixpence.
These sixpenccs George spent for
books, by means Of which he gained 4
little serviceable knowledge.
As soon as he arrived at manhood he
set himself one purpose in life; to bet
ter the condition Of the hordes
of overworked children in England.
SO earnest was his effort that, although
he was pennilcss, friendlesf and un.
educated, he compelled ali England lc
listen to his terrible story OF oppression
and want. and by bis own effort finally
induced parliament to pass an act by
which $4,000 little children were res
cued from the labor which was MAIN
ing and killing them, and were sent tc
school.
He then set to wor& to help the chill.
drcn employed on canal boats, whose
condition in England was little better
than that Of our former slaves in the
rice fields. He petitio. ed parliamen,
until an act was passed by which CO..
600 children were given an education
and time to o life and health.
This is a noble record. But the besr
point Of George Smiths story is that
he is now q white-haired old man
miserably poor. His whole life and
energy have been given to the one task
he has had no time to make money,
and although he has personally known
and influenced almost every leading
man in England, he has never asked Q
favor for himself or any selfish intcres,
from one Of them.
There are SO many histories of men
who have achieved fame and fortune
held up to American boys for their inn
itation. that il is surely worth THEN
while to read this record of a man poor
and obscure, yet whose success was sc
noble. Verify, ne and such as he shall.
have their reward N the larger life tC
which all unselfsh service for God and
human welfare tends, by divine and
eternal laws.

BERTHE Was Artful.

Detroit Free Press: Like most chill
dren Bertic is full of policy, and when
ever he has reason to think that he is
about to he scolded or punished he
practices his most winning wiles to di-
vert the attention or secur the favor of
his mother. Not long ago the latter
reproved him for pinching his kitten
and said: Now, I'm goinS to pinch
you so you can see how it feels"
"Oh. mamma" cried BERTHE, smooth
ing her cheeks atfectionately, "what
pity f'eckles You have. Your f'eckles
amt back like most peoples is"
But he got pinched all the same.

WHATS His Name?

A certain little doctor in the city
has no use for newspaper men, and as
far as can be learned the newspaper men
have no use for him, but he fancies that
he is big enough to intimidate the San
Antonio press. TO a reporter this morn
ing, he said "If you put my name in
the paper, I'll thrash you" and possibly
he meant that he would try to do IL. The
LIGHT does not crafty him by giving
him any free advertisement, but it says
distinctly that IL is not to be inundated,
and that 1t will print facts of the doctor,
good or bad, If, in our opinion, it is de-
sirable that those facts should be made
public.
